you go to junk yards to buy daily drivers?

Not junkyards... essentially dealerships that lease a parking space to you and take a certain percentage of what the vehicle sells for. There's a shitload of 'em here in Anchorage and some actually have decent rides in 'em.

Worse. Save-U-More. There isn't a Wal-Mart within, oh, 150+ miles of here.

There's a Fred Meyer in Soldotna... close enough.

Fred Meyer's > Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart is coming to Kenai soon though, right by the Stanley Chrysler dealer.

Nah.. We fish on the Cook Inlet region. Other side of the Aleutians. I haven't seen Deadliest Catch honestly, but I'm assuming they are drift net fishers.. My operation is of the gill/set-net variety. Smaller scale (we catch less), but also much cheaper to operate. Deadliest Catch fishers get big bad ass boats, and we've got aluminum bath tubs and Ford F-Series trucks. Observe:

This operation has been in my family for three generations. Before Alaska was a state, and when my grandparents had to have their goods shipped in my barge via the inlet (no road connecting my small fishing community with the rest of the world).

No. Everybody else is an ice road trucker.
I do not approve of stereotypes. Now just because my dad's a ice road trucker (no shit), and because I'm a fishermen, doesn't mean everyone else is.

Fucking generalizations.

Excuse me? I've never said a word good or bad to you on this forum but you're going to just randomly target me because I stated the facts on something?

I don't think my car is "the shit" however, I do think it is "shit" and that is why I want something else.
